Speech
Therapy
Our Speech – Language Pathologist works with the resident
to resolve problems in speech production, expressive and receptive
language, memory, higher-level thinking and swallowing.
Communication disorders can isolate an individual and may prevent
them from telling staff and family their wants and needs.
Swallowing Difficulties or dysphagia, places the resident at risk
for aspiration pneumonia, weight loss, weakness and dementia like
symptoms. |
